Ben is a fearless young boy - as brave as a lion, as strong as an elephant. Nothing can distract him from the tireless task of protecting his big sister, Anna. He gallantly spends his day fending off mouldy green ghosts, slime-burping monsters, robbers and wild beasts. But when the day is over and darkness descends, Ben stops feeling quite so brave - and realises that sometimes it is his sister who does the protecting. Just the story to settle wild brothers and sisters for bedtime!
